To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GoTTLInB GoTTrRmn DJESSER, a citizen of the Swiss Confederation, and resident of Ziirich-Wollishofen, Switzerland, have invented certain new and useful Substances to be Used as Varnishes and for Impregnation and Insulation and Method for Their Production, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention is a division of application No. 448,628, and relates to hitherto unknown substances and to methods for their production, such substances being especially suitable for purposes of manufacturing varnish, for impregnation and insulation. According to this invention these bodies are formed by chemical reactions between: fatty acids or substances containing' fatty acids, for instance, fatty oils, and amino-acids, for instance, glycocoll, or substances containing amino-acids (albumen and albuminous substances, albuminoids) or mixtures of the enumeratedfsubstances; the reactions being brought about at a temperature exceeding the limit of',de..

composition of the reacting substances present. The resulting products are remarkably resistant against chemical changes and atmospheric influences. While these new bodies may be used fora variety of purposes, they are to be particularly employed formanufacturing varnishes, lacquers and painting colors, by being to this end added to agglutinants or color ng matters. Moreover the products are intended for electrotechnical uses, as materials for impregnatinsulating solids,

u on.

The bodies produced by the foregoing method can be vulcanized by either cold or hot processes. They may be transformed into solids with or without the aid of agglutinants, and in given cases, by catalytic agents. The following are specific illustrations of the manner in which the new substances maybe formedz' Example I: About 15 parts in weight of tin,

- vent can be used for varnishing,

fatty these different uses resulting accord-' ing to the specific kind of material operated keratin or of substances containing keraare heated with about one hundred parts in weight of raw or-boiled linseed oil or the fatty acids of linseed-oil (or wood oil, or fatt acids of wood oil, or other fatty oils an the fatty acids contained in them). The heating is continued durin 3-6 hours at a temperature exceeding the imit of decomposition of the reacting substances present, z. e. at above 300 C. The volatile .products of decomposition are preferably allowed to escape from the heating vessel. The above enumerated substances may also be heated in the autoclave at a temperature exceeding their limits of decomposition or in a current of indifferent gases such as carbon dioxid, illuminating gas and the like. The product of the reaction may be absorbed by benzol or other solvents, and the solution filtered and purified to a higher degree of purity according to the methods used in the analysis of fats. The solution of the product obtained by a suitable solimpregnating and insulating pur oses; or the product itself can be submitte to subsequent treatment, such as vulcanizing and the like, as already stated.

Example II: 6 parts of spongin or fibroin are heated with 90 parts of fatty acids of linseed oil, wood-oil, caster-oil or other oils, inthe same manner as set forth in EX- ample I.

Example III: 15 parts of casein are heated with 85 parts of fatty acids of linseed-oil, wood-oil, castor-oil or other fatty acids: or of the correspondingfatty oils, in the same manner as set forth in Example 1. -Example IV: 20 parts of albumen are heated with 80 arts of the fatty acids of linseed oil, woo -oil, castor-oil, "or other fatty acids: or of the corresponding fatty oils, in ithe same manner as set forth in Example I.

It is to be well understood that the experimental conditions need not be always the same as described in the examples. They may be modified bythe specialist to suit} acids: or of the corresponding fatty acids to react upon amino-acids at a temperature exceeding the limit of decomposition of the reacting substances present, substantially as and' for the purpose set forth.
